Question
Chapter 20, Problem 9TYU
Summary Introduction
To explain: The cloning of the human crystallin gene to obtain a sufficient amount of the human crystallin protein.
Concept introduction:
Protein encoding genes express themselves and form functional gene products in the form of proteins. This is known as gene expression. Generally, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is used for the amplification of the gene sequence of interest and to synthesize its multiple copies. This gene fragment is then inserted into the expression vector to synthesize the protein encoded by the gene.

- Project: You want to make a cat that glows in the dark (its nose, ears, and tail should glow). Choose the best answer. 9) To get started on this project, you isolate and cut out the gene in a jellyfish that codes for the green fluorescent protein (GFP). The next thing you need to do is attach this gene to the correct promoter so that you can be sure it is expressed appropriately in the cat. Which of the following promoters should you use? a) any promoter is fine b) the original promoter found in the jellyfish c) a promoter from a gene that is expressed in cells of the cat's nose, ears, and tail 10) You are now ready to transfer the piece of recombinant DNA you have prepared to the cat. You want to be sure that the transgenic cat you create will be able to pass the fluorescence on to its offspring.
